What is CNC Machining?

There are many types of CNC machines. They all use a computer controlled machine tool to remove material from the workpiece.. Because of this computer control, CNC machining is much faster, more precise and  accurate than conventional machining.

What is CNC Machining used for?

Our precision CNC machining services make complex finished parts and components as well as tools for plastic injection molding or pressure die casting. In addition, CNC manufacturing  is used for secondary drilling, tapping, and milling operations on  machined parts or parts made from other processes.

Our CNC turning process produces custom prototypes and end-use production parts in as fast as 1 day. We use a CNC lathe with live tooling so features like axial and radial holes, flats, grooves, and slots can be machined.

CNC turning is often used for:

Functional prototypes and end-use parts

Parts with cylindrical features

Parts with axial and radial holes, flats, grooves, and slots

Our CNC milling process produces custom prototypes and end-use production parts in short time. We use 3-axis milling and 5-axis indexed milling processes to manufacture parts from more than 30 engineering-grade plastics and metals. With machined production parts, you can also get more competitive pricing at higher quantities in addition to DFM report prior to production, first article inspection (FAI) reporting, material certifications, and additional finishing options like anodizing and chromate plating.

EDM is a thermoelectric process used to remove metal via a series of discrete sparks between the metal and workpiece. In EDM an electric spark is used as the cutting tool to cut (erode) the workpiece and produce the finished part to the required shape. It is used for the tooling making or the parts with strict tolerance called.

Surface grinding is a finishing process that uses a rotating abrasive wheel to smooth the flat surface of metallic or nonmetallic materials to give them a more refined look by removing the oxide layer and impurities on work piece surfaces. This will also attain a desired surface for a functional purpose.

Precision machining has become essential to the manufacturing sector. This subtractive manufacturing process often pairs expert designers and engineers with the most advanced equipment available to create parts and components with extremely intricate or complex geometries. Precision machining is essential for the creation of many critical parts used in numerous industries, including the aerospace, electronics, and medical device machining industries.
